What a weird year.
Hello, Friends!
What a crazy timeline, right? 2020 was definitely not what we thought it would be—and as such, we’ve made some major changes as we work to stay by your side and keep the smiles coming!
First, the birth and death of our online shop.
It was a great idea to have a dot-com that we had full control of: simple shipping, no hidden fees, reasonalbe prices [because fewer fees]…but, alas. It was not meant to be. With UK VAT changes, sales tax adjustments, shipping chaos and other stressors, we’ve shut our indie shop and are on Etsy exclusively. Links to 2 of our 3 shops can be found on the front page.
RIP NJD.COM SHOP V7.0 April 2020 - October 2020. You were awesome.
Next, an online [and IRL] adventure!
A solid year of no cons means getting everything online—and trying not to get lost in the hustle of others doing the same! That said, we finagled the funds to get a lazer! It was a SCARY investment, but we really love making things that help increase your happiness quotient—and right now, EVERYTHING is scary and we need more happy! Overall, it’s pretty amazing—but we’re still learning the curve. There’s A LOT of upkeep and sitting with a digital design going ‘oh, shoot…oh, darn’ before we even get to cutting. (I’m personally looking forward to less learning and more knowing—and more making of cool, unique goodies for y’all!)
And what’s next?
2021 brings new hope and a plethora of new ideas—including enamel pin Kickstarters, Queergyle merch, shirts and towels, and a brand new line of creative décor inspired by…well, I’ll keep it a surprise for now. ♥
We hope you’ll continue to support and inspire us on our handcrafted journey—and we are super duper excited to share our new projects with you! Stay tuned for more updates—and if you’re on the web, let’s social media! We miss seeing you all at cons—let’s get together, virtually!
♥ Matilda & Chris
